Siberian tiger (P. t. altaica) classified as Critically Endangered (CR - C2a(ii)) and listed on Appendix I of CITES. The tiger is classified as Endangered by the IUCN (the World Conservation Union), and of the six surviving subspecies the futures of the South China tiger and the Siberian tiger seem particularly bleak. Recent extensive surveys resulted in no sightings. India has the greatest number of tigers but even the Bengal tiger population is estimated at no more than 3,000 – 3,500 individuals. TRAFFIC (the trade monitoring arm of the WWF and IUCN) monitors the level of international trade of tiger products and brings it to the attention of the relevant authorities. The Indian government established Project Tiger in 1973 with the aim of conserving the tiger population. Within India there are currently 21 tiger reserves, although, these are increasingly threatened by human pressures on the land. The key to the survival of the tiger is the maintenance of large tracts of contiguous habitat, but protection of this species is complicated by its man-eater reputation and by the threat posed to livestock. The involvement and commitment of local people will be vital for the future sustainability of this most regal of cats.

well kimmy....
to protect the siberian tiger... manking is destroying its forests, encroaching on its habitat, poaching it and polluting the atmosphere. this is in terms of protection that most government agencies talk of.
for them development is a means of conservation. little do they realise that sustained development is the way to life.
frankly speaking theres not much being done to protect the wild animals including the siberian tiger.
except the few lone voices that can be heard every now and then at some or the other corner, maybe a greenpeace activist, maybe a WWF activist, but all is drowned in the murky waters of political conflicts.
this is the case in every country.
theres very little hope for the tiger, unless we put a stop to it all..
we can start from home... conserve energy, dont use plastics...
u will realise the importance.
reduce reuse recycle
also ask ur science teachers for more information on how u can help contribute in your own small way to conservation
